The comfortable life is killing you..

Depression in the era of infinite possibilities:

Although we are currently experiencing the highest living standards in the history of mankind:

 • Depression rates are constantly rising in the US since the mid-1930s.

 • Approximately 40 million American adults are dealing with anxiety disorder.

 • Over 600,000 children of 5 and under are on some type of psychiatric drug in the US. 



Depression and anxiety

According to the existential psychologist, Rollo May:
 • “Depression is the inability to construct a future.”
 • "Anxiety comes from "not being able to know the world you’re in, not being able to orient yourself in your own existence.”



“Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does.”
                              - Jean-Paul Sartre



Living with purpose and vitality

 • Let go of the idea of how your life is "supposed to be". Change strategy, even it means you have to face the unknown.
 • Embrace your struggles and use them as a fuel for your new life.
 • Stop the autopilot mode and be aware and present in every action you are doing.
 • Be smart about your finances. Also, invest more in experiences and less in material things.
 • Reconnect with nature.


          “Chase after money and security, and your heart will never unclench. Care about people’s approval, and you will be their prisoner. Do your work, then step back. This is  the only path to serenity.”
                                            - Lao Tzu

It’s best to avoid it when working on tasks that require focus or the learning of new information.  • Listening to music with lyrics may help people working on repetitive or mundane tasks.  • Classical or rock music allows people to identify numbers more quickly and accurately.  • Ambient noise, or ambient music, at about 70 decibels can be the best kind of music for work productivity. But increasing it over 85 decibels hurts creativity.  • Searching for the right artist can detract from workplace productivity but, once you know what works for you, music can become a tool for near-instant concentration.

CONSCIOUSNESS ENGINEERING Consciousness Engineering is an operating system for the human mind. Your models of reality are like the hardware: They’re your beliefs about yourself and the world.

YOU ARE VERY MUCH ON TIME

.   𒂏 Obama retired at 55, Trump started at 70 Sydney is 3 hours ahead of Perth,  but that doesn't make Perth slow.  Someone graduated at the age of 22,  but waited 5 years before securing a good job. Someone became a CEO at 25 and died at 50. While another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years. Someone is still single, while someone else got married. Everyone in this world works  based on their tie zone. People around you might seem to be ahead  of you and some might seem to be ahead  But everyone is running their own race, in their own time. Do not envy them and do not mock them. They are in their time zone, and you are in yours. LIFE IS ABOUT WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO ACT. So relax. You're not early. You're not late . You are very much on time.
